The annual event featured a travel-style men's fashion show,
an auction and a performance by U.S. singer Jason Derulo.

"I'm excited about being with friends and people that I've
known for 23 years," Campbell said at the function, where she
received an Inspiration Award. "And just making awareness of
something that still needs to be a focal point of everyone's
attention."
